At Least 16 Dead, Hundreds Ill in Swine Flu Outbreak in Mexico
Officials don't yet know if the virus is the same that sickened seven people in California, Texas
Posted April 24, 2009
CDC investigators are working with health officials in California and Texas to identify the source of the infection and to see if any other people have contracted it, Schuchat said.
The CDC is also asking doctors to be on the lookout for cases of flu that are hard to identify, and send samples of the virus to their state health department. In addition, the CDC is working with the virus to prepare a vaccine should there be a need to produce one against the virus, officials said.
